U.S. News & World Report recently recognized Goshen Surgery Center (Goshen Health) as one of the nation’s highest performing ambulatory surgery centers in the category of Colonoscopy & Endoscopy. This is the Goshen Surgery Center’s second year earning this accolade.
U.S. News’ second annual ratings offer Americans data-driven insights into their local ambulatory surgery center to inform their choices for quality outpatient surgery centers. In Collaboration with CareJourney by Arcadia, U.S. News evaluated 4,357 surgery centers nationwide across four separate specialty areas.
“We are thrilled that our Colleagues have once again been recognized for the exceptional care they provide to patients at our surgery center,” said Randy Christophel, Goshen Health President and Chief Executive Officer. “Being named one of the best ambulatory surgery centers for Colonoscopy and Endoscopy by U.S. News & World Report is a testament to our commitment to excellence and the positive impact we have on our patients' lives. This honor reaffirms that our continuous efforts to provide top-notch care truly make a difference.”
Ambulatory surgery centers were evaluated based entirely on objective, risk-adjusted measures of their patients’ outcomes, including how successfully they avoided complications, ER visits, unplanned hospitalizations and other undesirable outcomes. To ensure fair comparisons among ambulatory surgery centers, the analysis accounted for each patient’s pre-existing conditions and other risk factors. U.S. News recognizes only the highest-rated surgery centers in each specialty that satisfy U.S. News' statistical assessment of performance; fewer than 17% of evaluated facilities earned a Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers rating for the 2025 study.
